I don't use it either. Looking at Sourceforge, I see that it hasn't been updated since July, 2001. It is supposed to be a BSD licensed version of readline, so overwriting readline files would be appropriate. Why do we need that? I'd say drop it from the book. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
